Excellent work!! Highly Recommend!

We went to George to have an Estate plan done for my mother and I could not be more pleased with the service he provided and the job he did! George is professional but also warm, kind and has a sense of humor that makes serious things easy to do! Gathering the information he needed was the hardest pa...rt of the process and even that was pretty easy. He worked quickly and efficiently and was able to meet all our needs. Having this done gives us peace of mind and having it done so well is invaluable. I can recommend both George and his work highly!!

Geordie is awesome to work with

I knew it was way past time to update my Will and other estate planning documents, but I just wasn’t ready to invest the time and money to do it right. Geordie and I had a preliminary conversation and he was kind enough to gently nudge me periodically until the time was right for me. His patience is ...indicative of how he handled my estate planning. Completely focussed on the needs of the client. Geordie gave me lots to think about even for an estate that seemed pretty straight forward. He offered alternatives for a couple unique situations and helped me make the right decisions for me. His kind and direct approach made the process very comfortable and easy. Now I have the peace of mind knowing everything is in place. It was totally worth the investment to get it done the right way. I highly recommend Geordie as you not only get his sage legal advice, you get his genuine care and concern.

First time estate planning clients

Geordie is the height of pleasant professionalism. Shortly after I rejoined the post-graduate workforce, he helped us set up an estate plan that was right for our small but growing family. He took the time to walk us through every single document and laying out alternatives for beneficiaries, trusts,... trustees, personal representatives, asset documentation, and the like. He even had step by step instructions of how to tell our brothers and sisters to fill out *their* parts of the documents. When signing day came, he was prepared and patient, and always welcomed our infant son into the office. Months later he continues to be a valued part of our family's legal team, and we can't recommend him highly enough.

Superb experience

Working with George Byron Griffiths Law was such a positive experience, He patiently worked with us to elicit ur desires and then researched the optimum way to carry them out for both our lake property and our home and assets. I am confident we will not need to ever redo our estate plan. Thank you, G...eordie for all of your help, insight and professional expertise. It much appreciated and I can not sing your praises loud enough. You have our unending gratitude.

Helpful with Estate Planning

As a 55 year old with children and assets to protect, I have used multiple estate attorneys over the years. George Griffiths is hands down the best attorney I have used for these reasons: (1) Most attorneys make estate planning feel confusing and complicated; George explained everything in clear... understandable terms, didn't need to create complicated instruments that don't add value, and made the experience easy. (2) George was professional and thorough, making sure we covered what was most important to meet my personal goals and protect all of my assets. He found misses previous attorneys overlooked. (3) George was committed to being efficient and he had very reasonable fees. I highly recommend George to others looking for an experienced estate attorney with the highest integrity and commitment to putting his client's needs first.
